empanada was not as crunchy on the outside as I like, but the beef was fine on the inside. Tried the ropa vieja and the beef falls apart in your mouth. You can taste the mix of tomatoes, peppers and onions in the sauce. It was a good dish. The oxtail stew had good flavor and the meat falls off the bone.

The dishes were good but didn't wow me (I could have the same quality in NYC). I'm pretty sure this is my first time ever giving out just one star!

I took off 1 star because the service wasn't so much bad as it was not existent (we had to ask for menus).
I took off another star because the food was bland... my ropa veaja was fine, but like i said bland! i took off another star because the hubs got the cubano sandwich... what the heck is all the hype?! this is a plain old dumb sandwich... maybe other places have a better one, but this was on icky, hard, crusty bread and and had only 3 pickles on it... bland! i took off the other star because the bathroom was gross (i didn't go in the ladies room but the hubs went into the dudes... he said and i quote. I gave it one star because they had french dressing on the table... not sure what it was for, but i have never seen that before.. one star for
